Using ClickUp to manage real-time ad performance feedback helps marketing teams react faster, optimize campaigns on the fly, and keep all analysis structured in one workspace.

This how-to guide walks you through setting up a clear process for reviewing, tracking, and improving ad performance using AI-powered feedback features and organized workflows.

Understand Real-Time Ad Performance Feedback in ClickUp

Before you design your workflow, it is important to understand what a real-time ad feedback process should deliver inside ClickUp:

• Instant visibility into ad performance trends
• Clear documentation of feedback and optimization ideas
• A central place for approvals and comments
• Automated, AI-assisted analysis that updates as results change

The reference solution for this workflow is described on the official AI Agents page. To see the original outline, you can review the source at this ClickUp real-time ad performance feedback example.

Plan Your Ad Feedback Structure in ClickUp

Start by defining how you want your ad feedback process to be organized in ClickUp so that every stakeholder can quickly find the information they need.

Decide How to Group Ad Campaigns in ClickUp

Create a clear hierarchy so each level in ClickUp represents a logical marketing dimension:

• Workspace or Space: Overall marketing or paid media operations
• Folder: Channel groups (for example, Paid Social, Paid Search, Display)
• List: Specific campaigns or clients
• Tasks: Individual ad sets, ad groups, or creative variations

This structure makes it easy to compare performance between campaigns and see how feedback impacts results over time.

Define Key Ad Performance Fields in ClickUp

Add Custom Fields so your team can log and analyze core performance metrics consistently. Common fields for an ad feedback workflow include:

• Platform or network (Facebook, Google, TikTok, etc.)
• Objective (conversions, leads, traffic, awareness)
• Primary KPI (CPA, ROAS, CTR, CPC, CPM)
• Budget and spend data
• Audience or segment name
• Creative type (video, static image, carousel, UGC)

With these fields in place, your AI-driven analysis and feedback processes in ClickUp can reference the same metrics across campaigns.

Set Up an Ad Feedback Workflow in ClickUp

Once your structure and fields are ready, you can build a repeatable feedback workflow that tracks each stage of analysis and optimization.

Create Statuses for the Feedback Lifecycle in ClickUp

Use simple, meaningful statuses so everyone understands where each ad or ad set stands:

• Collecting Data – Ad is live and gathering initial performance results
• Needs Review – Data is ready for analysis and feedback
• Feedback Logged – Insights and recommendations have been added
• Changes Applied – Optimizations have been implemented on the ad platform
• Monitoring Impact – Post-change performance is being measured

These stages help you translate live performance into documented feedback and track whether changes actually improve results.

Build a Standard Ad Feedback Task Template in ClickUp

Create a reusable task template so each ad or ad set gets the same structured review. Your ClickUp template can include:

• Task name format: Platform – Campaign – Ad Set – Creative
• Description sections:
  • Goal and primary KPI
  • Target audience and placement
  • Key message and creative angle
• Custom Fields: Performance metrics, dates, platforms, budgets
• Checklists:
  • Confirm tracking and attribution
  • Review early performance signals
  • Log AI-based insights and suggestions
  • Approve and implement changes
• Comments area: For cross-team discussions and approvals

Using a consistent template means every piece of feedback is captured the same way, which boosts the value of your AI-assisted analysis.

Use AI-Based Feedback Inside ClickUp

AI Agents can help you rapidly interpret performance trends and turn raw data into actionable insights that live directly in your ClickUp tasks.

Prepare Data for AI Review in ClickUp

To get accurate, useful feedback from AI, ensure that every ad task includes:

• Updated performance metrics in Custom Fields
• Recent results pasted or summarized in the description
• Clear goals and targets (for example, target CPA or minimum ROAS)
• Notes on any recent changes, such as bids, budgets, or creative swaps

When this context is present, AI can compare actual results against goals and recommend appropriate optimizations.

Run AI Feedback Prompts on Ad Tasks in ClickUp

Within each ad task, you can apply prompts that ask AI to analyze results and provide step-by-step recommendations. Typical actions include:

• Summarizing current performance versus goals
• Highlighting top-performing and underperforming audiences or placements
• Suggesting bid, budget, or targeting adjustments
• Recommending creative tests based on click and conversion behavior
• Outlining follow-up checkpoints to validate changes

Document AI recommendations directly in the task description or comments so the full feedback history remains visible in ClickUp.

Collaborate on Ad Feedback with ClickUp

Real-time ad optimization depends on effective communication between analysts, media buyers, and creatives. ClickUp provides tools to keep everyone aligned.

Share Feedback and Approvals Inside ClickUp

Use collaboration features so your team can make fast, traceable decisions:

• Comments: Mention stakeholders, ask questions, and log decisions next to each piece of feedback.
• Attachments: Add screenshots from your ad platforms to show key results.
• Subtasks: Assign implementation steps such as updating bids, adjusting audiences, or uploading new creatives.
• Watchers: Ensure relevant team members are notified when feedback is added or statuses change.

This approach keeps all ad-related conversations centralized in ClickUp instead of scattered across email or chat channels.

Create Views for Different Roles in ClickUp

Set up multiple views so each role can see only what matters to them:

• Media Buyer View: Group by platform or campaign, filtered to tasks in “Needs Review” or “Changes Applied”.
• Analyst View: Table view with key metrics and statuses to quickly identify outliers and trends.
• Creative Team View: Board or list filtered to tasks where new creative tests are requested.

These role-based views help each person respond to AI-driven feedback promptly and focus on the work that drives performance.

Track Outcomes of Feedback in ClickUp

To close the loop, monitor how each suggestion and optimization impacts results and keep a record of what works.

Log Optimization Actions and Results in ClickUp

For each ad or ad set, maintain a simple history directly in the task:

• Note when a change was implemented and who executed it
• Record what was changed (budget, bid strategy, targeting, creative)
• Capture results after a defined period (for example, 3–7 days)
• Tag the outcome as positive, neutral, or negative

Over time, these logs help your team and AI agents recognize which tactics consistently improve KPIs.

Build Dashboards for Ad Feedback in ClickUp

Create a dashboard that summarizes key performance and workflow metrics:

• Number of tasks in each feedback status
• Average time from “Needs Review” to “Changes Applied”
• Top-performing campaigns and creatives by primary KPI
• Volume of AI recommendations implemented over a period

This overview shows how effective your real-time feedback process is and where you can streamline steps in ClickUp.

Next Steps: Scale Your Ad Feedback System in ClickUp

Once your foundation is in place, you can continuously refine and extend your workflow:

• Expand your task template to cover more channels
• Add additional Custom Fields for advanced KPIs or segments
• Refine AI prompts to match your unique optimization playbook
• Standardize reporting cadences across teams and clients

If you need help designing or optimizing your workspace, you can also work with specialized consultants such as Consultevo to refine processes and automation.
